The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $5,096,390 Formula Grant under the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Information Dissemination, Outreach, Training and Technical Analysis/Assistance program (CFDA 81.117) to the Nevada Governor's Office of Energy. The grant will support the implementation and enforcement of residential and commercial energy codes, including the 2021 and 2024 editions of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), across Nevada by working with local municipalities and tribal governments. The grant encourages partnerships to aid in the implementation, enforcement, and compliance with these energy codes, which are intended to promote energy efficiency, renewable energy adoption, and grid resilience throughout the state. The Nevada Governor's Office of Energy plans to sub-award portions of the grant to support workforce development initiatives, such as an apprenticeship program with the Nevada System of Higher Education, and community college energy code training programs with the University of Illinois.
